 YOUR SENATOR IS ON THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE THAT WILL DETERMINE LOAN FORGIVENESS FOR CHILD WELFARE WORKERS

The House and Senate have both passed higher education student loan bills that include language on loan forgiveness for child welfare workers.

There is an important difference between these two bills in the loan forgiveness section. 

Both bills provide long term loan forgiveness for public services employees, including child welfare workers. The House language provides loan forgiveness of $1000 a year up to $5000 (five years) if a person works in one of eight areas of national need as well as the current national service program. The Senate provision provides loan forgiveness after an individual has been employed in child welfare for ten years.

The Conference Committee is resolving the differences right now!

Write your Senator while they're back home to tell them to make sure the provision in the House bill remains in any final conference agreement!
